The fact is that when you transfer project files (Excel files) to another computer, errors can occur when linking (Excel files) with the library BPExpress.dll the so – called "broken" links. So before you transfer your files to another computer, it is recommended to "unlink" the file from the library BPExpress.dll. To do this:

1. Open, successively, all the project files (the Excel files you plan to transfer to another computer), when you run disable macros.

☛ Note. If Excel itself connects the macros, then you need to change settings – select "disable all macros with notification" and "trust access to the object model projects", which are located in the tab "file" – "options / trust center / trust center settings security."

2. In the active workbook (file project, Excel) log in to the VBA editor – press ALT + F11.
3. In the VBA editor window select References: "Tools / References", find it in the list of libraries checked, the library "BPExpress" and uncheck (tick) opposite the name. Save the changes.

If the files have been moved without preparation, and were old links BPExpress.dll there may appear an error at application startup with the following message: "The program encountered an invalid link: "MISSING"".

To continue, you need to remove the check box in the VBA editor window select References: "Tools / References" on the contrary "MISSING: BPExpress". Save the changes and close the file.

Now you can open the project file using start application, and program itself will establish a connection with the library BPExpress.

If the menu is not active, then the link with the object library and ActiveX control is not installed and must be installed manually. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the project file (at startup, disable macros), for example, the project file "BudgetPlanExpress.xlsm".
2. Log in to the VBA editor using Alt+F11.
3. In the header editor window, after the "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" should be the name of the active project file, for example, "BudgetPlanExpress.xlsm". Open the dialog box editor "References" where the connection settings: "Tools/References", as shown in the following screenshot.
